Life is never dull

And boy does it keep you busy sometimes. Life has been rolling along for us. Colten is now eating any baby food we put in front of him (nothing gets rejected) and is sleeping through the night regular. Boy is that nice! I wish I had more to add, but nothing much else exciting is going on. We are just taking it all in and watching our boy grow every day. Enjoy some recent pics!

He got food on his hands then decided to rub his eyes.

What a ham!

It's been a while...

since I posted anything here. Life has been crazy for us with the usual...lots of traveling, child keeping us busy. Nothing in particular. Just busy. Colten continues to practice his rolling over. He seems to really want to crawl as, once on his stomach, he tries to bend his legs under him and push off. We've tried some cereal from a spoon. He's not really sure about that, so we have been trying some in a bottle to get him used to the taste and thicker consistency. Teething has definitely begun with all of the drooling and everything in the mouth and being chewed on. Also, we have started blowing bubbles at him, and he thinks that is the funniest thing. Busy, busy, busy. No way to post all of the recent pics here without totally wearing you (and Blogger) out so here are links to a few of my Facebook albums with current ones.

During Easter, Kevin and some of the family helped my grandparents clean up around their place from the horrible ice storm they had earlier in the year: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=103856&id=501437993&l=6797df7fba

I'll try to be better about posting sooner in the future.

Houston...we have rollover!

Colten had a big weekend. On Sunday, we discovered real laughing and rolled over (back to stomach) for the first time. The pic of him on his stomach is right after it happened. I don't think he really knew what to think and so far hasn't repeated, but I'm hopeful.

We are headed to Tulsa and NW Arkansas for Easter weekend. We hope everyone has a great Easter.

Just some recent pics

Since last week, we haven't been up to much. Just hanging around the house. We are actually getting to enjoy a weekend at home before we run off and start traveling again. Never a dull moment in the Cook household. Meanwhile, here's some random pics from this week.

Overnight with the grandparents

So, Colten and I ventured to Austin this weekend to meet up with daddy and the grandparents. On my way into town, I dropped Colten off with Pops and Granny Annie (my husband's parents) to spend the night. Yes, it was my first overnight away from the baby. While it was hard to drive away, Kevin and I ended up having a very nice evening and the world did not come to an end. In fact, the grandparents are thinking we should do it once a month. We'll see about that. For now, here are some random photos from the weekend.

First flight

Well, we did it! Colten took his first flight on Friday from here to Tulsa to see the family for the weekend. He did GREAT! Following great advice, I fed him a bottle during takeoff. He fell asleep shortly thereafter and didn't even wake up when we landed. He is such a good baby! Here are a few pics of the trip including one with his first boarding pass aboard the LUV airline.

Tummy time and travel

Well, as usual, the Cooks are staying busy. Colten is getting ready for his first airplane ride this weekend as we head to Tulsa to see family and start working on the land in preparation of building. I'm really excited about it but kinda nervous too. If anyone has flown with babies this small, I'd love advice.

In the meantime, here are some pictures of my darling boy working on his tummy time today.
